ACTIVITY 2
Direction: Surf the internet and look for the different equipment for track and field. And
explain the use of particular equipment.
ANSWER:
1. Banana Steps- are great plyometric training devices that come in 6", 12", 18", and 24"
heights. Hop, step, jump or bound over this durable PVC hurdle.
2. Batons- a tube that is passed from one relay race member to another. The runner holding
the baton is the current runner for that team in the race. They are typically about 1 foot
long and 1.5 inches in diameter.
3. Cross Bars- is the horizontal part of a high jump or pole vault you jump over. The
standard cross bar is 13 feet and 1.5 inches long. The high jump has been included in the
Olympics since the very first Games in 1896. You should only buy a crossbar if you
already have the holders and a landing mat for your landing.
4. Discus- also known as disc throw, is a track and field event in which an athlete throws a
heavy disc—called a discus—in an attempt to mark a farther distance than their
competitors. It is an ancient sport, as demonstrated by the fifth-century-BC Myron statue
Discobolus.
5. Discus Carts- a very useful tool that can save your energy and strength at practice and
meets.
6. Finish Line- The finish line is a 50 mm wide line marked across the track. It usually is a
straight line perpendicular to the sides of the track and is at the straight part of the track.
7. Hammer and Weight Throwers- How it works. Another of the throws events, athletes
throw a metal ball (16lb/7.26kg for men, 4kg/8.8lb for women) that is attached to a grip
by a steel wire no longer than 1.22m while remaining inside a seven-foot (2.135m)
diameter circle.
8. Hammer Gloves- is constructed with a textured palm coating to enhance gripping power
while the padding is designed to protect the thumb web area by diffusing impact, shock
energy and trauma when pounding nails, working with chisels or similar applications
Ergonomically designed to reduce hand fatigue.
9. High Pit Jumps- Yellow Blue High Jump Landing Area Pit International Vinex IAAF
Approved, Size: 500 Cm X 300 Cm X 60 Cm.
10. High Jumps- a track and field event in which competitors must jump unaided over a
horizontal bar placed at measured heights without dislodging it. In its modern, most-
practiced format, a bar is placed between two standards with a crash mat for landing.
11. Hurdles- is the basis of a few track and field events. In the said events, obstacles or
barriers which are called hurdles are set to which each athlete must jump over. Failure to
do so may get an athlete disqualified. The standard hurdle race is 110 meters for men and
100 meters for women.
12. Javelins- is a track and field event where the javelin, a spear about 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) in
length, is thrown. The javelin thrower gains momentum by running within a
predetermined area. Javelin throwing is an event of both the men's decathlon and the
women's heptathlon.
13. Jump Boards- is made of hand-selected wood. Installed without tray. Sealed, primed and
painted. Call with requirements before ordering.
14. Lap Counters- Large 9" louvered digital number units. Heavy, solid steel base and open–
construction makes it tip–resistant.
15. Markers - Marking of the 400m standard track
16.
17. All lanes are marked by white lines. The line on the right hand side of each lane, in the
direction of running, is included in the measurement of the width of each lane. All start
lines (except for curved start lines) and the finish line are marked at right angles to the
lane lines.
18. Measuring Tape- All distances are measured in a clockwise direction from the edge of the
finish line nearer to the start to the edge of the start line farther from the finish. The data
for staggered starts for the Track (constant lane width of 1.22m) is shown in the table
below.
19. Megaphones- are definitely not necessary if you're a beginner, but you will see more
advanced athletes and their coaches ...
20. Pit Levelers and Rakes- Pit levelers and rakes are for the sand of long jump and triple
jump pits. After you land in the pole-vault pit, it can leave a pretty big hole in the sand, so
a rake can help to smooth out the sand to smooth it out for the next person.
21. Pole Vault Bags- 16” x 16” bag with two 14” long and 1” wide black cotton webbing
strap handles.
Made of a lightweight, spun polyester canvas-like fabric.
All seams and stress points are double-stitched for durability, and the reinforced bottom
flattens to fit more items and hold larger objects.
Spot clean/dry clean only.
22. Pole Vault Grip tapes- 12 1/2 yard roll of adhesive tape. 1 1/2" width. White tape is 15
yards. Available in a case of 24
23. Pole Vaults- The pole vault is an event in which an athlete jumps over a high bar using a
pole, which is classified as one of the jumping events in track and field athletics.
24. Race Clocks- (also called a display clock) is sports equipment with an alpha numeric
display that typically shows the elapsed time for a race or sporting event.
25. Shot Puts- is a track and field event involving "putting" (throwing) a heavy spherical ball
—the shot—as far as possible. The shot put competition for men has been a part of the
modern Olympics since their revival in 1896, and women's competition began in 1948.
26. Spikes- Track spikes, or just spikes, are a type of footwear featuring protruding spikes on
the soles used by athletes when racing on the track. Some spikes are designed for longer-
term training on tracks, but generally the shoes are used for racing.

Week 7
Activity 1
Direction: give the different types of running races. Explain the mechanics and the basic skills
1. Fun Runs
Fun runs are a great intro to racing for anyone new to running. They’re also a good fit for
people who run to stay healthy but don’t really enjoy running. Fun runs are produced with a
theme in mind, and they encourage everyone to focus on fun more than running. Everyone
from the runners to the volunteers to the bystanders has a good time at these races.

2. 5k Races (3.1 Miles)

The intro distance for most legitimate races is 5k (3.1 miles). Though some fun runs will be
5k or shorter, most fun runs aren’t run with finishing times in mind. They’re run for fun.
Though many 5k races are also produced with a theme of some sort and benefit a charity,
there’s less frivolity.
3. 10k Races (6.2 Miles)
As the next level up from a 5k race, 10k races are a bit more serious. A 10k is 6.2 miles long,
so it’s not ideal for brand new runners. These races are better for people who have been
running for a little while and who already feel comfortable doing a 5k. Many experienced
runners like to use a 10k to step up from a 5k as a way to train for a longer race or as a way
to qualify for an exclusive race.

4. Half-Marathon Races (13.1 Miles)

Running a half-marathon (13.1 miles) is the first big step to running an endurance race. Half-
marathons are not for novice runners. If you’re going to begin training for your first half-
marathon, you should already be able to run about five miles without stopping. If you’re not
at that point yet, keep building up your stamina.

Half-marathons are good for people who have already run a 10k and want to go further,
people who have run a half-marathon already and want to improve their pace, or people who
are training for bigger races.
5. Marathon Races (26.2 Miles)
A marathon (26.2 miles) is an endurance event meant for experienced runners. If you are a
novice runner, don’t jump straight into a marathon. Running a marathon requires training and
planning. Most people who run marathons really enjoy running or really enjoy challenging
themselves physically.

The marathon distance is great for people who have already run a half-marathon and want to
do something bigger: competitive runners, want to do competitive races, and people training
for bigger races.
6. Ultramarathons (Longer than 26.2 Miles)
Though anything longer than a marathon is considered an ultra marathon, most
ultramarathons are between 50k (31.1 Miles) and 100 miles. However, they can be longer.
Ultra marathons are designed with the toughest runners in mind.

7. Trail Running Races (various distances)

You can find a trail race of almost any distance. The biggest difference between a trail race
and a road race is the terrain. Trail races are often run on packed dirt trails, but the route
 could also include grass, sand, gravel, mud, rocks, or water. If you don’t like getting dirty, a
trail race is not for you.
8. Obstacle Races (various distances)
Obstacle races like Tough Mudder and Spartan Races have become very popular over the
past decade. They combine a footrace with obstacles and feats of strength. Distance and the
number of obstacles vary from race to race. You can typically find distances that range from
a 5k to a marathon. Select the race that is appropriate for your fitness level.

ACTIVITY 2
Direction: Answer the following questions
1. When is a starter’s gun used in track and field events?
Answer: As you can clearly see, when sprinters are triggered by a gunshot they actually
react faster, despite the fact that light reaches their eyes well before sound reaches their
ears.
2. In which track and field competition is a foul line used?
Answer: The line drawn near the edge of the runway that marks the end of the approach
run. If an athlete competing in the long jump, high jump, pole vault, or javelin throw
event steps on or beyond this line during the approach run, the attempt will be declared a
foul.
3. How long is a regulation baton?
Answer: A standard baton is chrome-plated steel shaft with rubber ends similar in
consistency to a vehicle tire. It weighs approximately ½ pound and is anywhere from 14-
32 inches in length. The athlete uses a baton that is sized to the length of their arm from
the shoulder to the tip of the fingers.

4. Which of the following are 3 commands you heard for the start of a race?
Answer: There will be two verbal commands and then the gun to start the race. Please
stand behind your blocks and, when I give the command 'On your marks,' come forward
and get settled into your blocks without any delays. When everyone is settled, I will give
the 'Set' command.

5. What is the number one rule of etiquette for anyone around a track and field event?
Answer: Most of the rules and etiquette around track and field are very simple: don't
interfere with other competitors, wait for the starter's gun to go off before running, jump
or throw before the foul line, jump over the bar without making it fall and pass the baton,
a hollow metal tube, to other teammates.
Week 8
Activity 1
Direction: Identify the different events in Decathlon, Heptathlon and Pentathlon
DECATHLON
An all-round athletics test, the 10-event contest covers the whole range of athletics disciplines
spread over two days. The first day consists of (in order): 100m, long jump, shot put, high jump
and 400m. The second day's events are 110m hurdles, discus, pole vault, javelin and 1500m.
HEPTATHLON
The heptathlon (women) consists of three running events, two jumping events and two throwing
events, all carried out over two days. Day1: 100m hurdles, high jump, shot put and 200m. Day2:
long jump, javelin and 800m. Heptathletes receive points in each event, according to a scoring
table.
PENTATHLON
Modern Pentathlon comprises the five disciplines of fencing, swimming, show jumping, shooting
and running. Previously held over five days, all five disciplines are now held on the one day, and
the shooting and running have been combined and contested as the laser run, to ensure an
exciting climax to each competition.

Activity 2
Direction: Explain the rules and regulation of Multi events, decathlon, heptathlon and pentathlon.
The decathlon is an athletic event taking place over two days, in which each competitor takes
part in the same prescribed ten events (100-meter dash, long jump, shot put, high jump, 400-
meter dash, 110-meter hurdles, discus, pole vault, javelin, and 1,500-meter run).

The heptathlon is a track and field event, in particular one for women, in which each competitor
takes part in the same prescribed seven events (100-meter hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200-
meter dash, long jump, javelin, and 800-meter run).

The pentathlon is an athletic event comprising five different events for each competitor, in
particular (also modern pentathlon) a men's event involving fencing, shooting, swimming, riding,
and cross-country running.
